Do you ever feel like you're living the same parenting moment on repeat?
One day everything’s calm, and the next—boom—your teen’s eye-rolling, procrastinating, shutting down (again). You try a new approach, read a new book, maybe even pull out that printed checklist from last year’s webinar... and yet, somehow, you’re still right back in the storm.
In this episode, we talk about why the same parenting struggles keep flaring up—and why quick-fix strategies rarely work for the long haul.
We dig beneath the surface to uncover the two root causes most parents overlook:
What’s really going on in your teen’s developing brain
The emotional “muscles” we need to strengthen as parents in the third stage
This episode covers the five most common questions I get from parents—about motivation, respect, communication, confidence, and independence—and helps you move from reacting at the surface to parenting at the root.
Because once you shift how you respond, everything begins to change.
🔍 Topics we’ll explore:
Why your teen isn’t actually “lazy”
What disrespect is really about (spoiler: it’s not you)
The connection-confidence link that often gets missed
How to step back without checking out
The secret to long-term change that lasts beyond high school
💬 If you’ve ever whispered “I don’t know what else to try…” this one’s for you.
